Certificate of Excellence

What is Certificate of Excellence?

TripAdvisor gives a Certificate of Excellence to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers.

This lovely little hotel centrally located charmed us from the beginning. We were able to park our car and walk into an oasis of calm just inside the door. The courtyard with beautiful landscaping surrounding a cool, refreshing swimming pool had the kind of tranquility...More

The location really is perfect - a quiet little haven around the corner from where everything is happening. We stayed there for a few days on our honeymoon and the hotel room was very simple, but it had a fridge and a portable stove which...More

I liked the hotel because it was so small and quiet, with lots of little animals for my children to get entertained. The room is small but this did not bother us. They remodeled the rooms recently. Spotless clean rooms! The AC works great and...More

Loved everything about the hotel especially the people that run it ! They are still friendly like all the people in playa used to be!! We had a rough start with our neighbour in the hotel but lucky for us she left after a few...More

Just back from my second visit to this lovely little hotel. Will be going back as soon as i can. Clean rooms and grounds, friendly and accomodating staff and great location. 5 minutes walk from the beautiful beach and lively 5th avenue but far enough...More

Buenos días Wallyball, thank you for your message!
There are many ways to come from the airport, please find several options that I usually recommend to our guests!
- The ADO bus leaves every hour (every half hour on peak times) from each terminal and travels directly to Playa del carmen main station, which is located 5 blocks away from the hotel. The cost is $178 pesos per person (may change according to the season) and the schedule is available on ADO's webpage.
- Authorized taxis from the airport are waiting all the time outside the terminal and you don’t need any reservation, the cost is $100USD-$110USD for up to 4 per car (I don’t have the updated rate for a van but they usually charge the same as for 2 taxis) and they bring you directly to the hotel.
- The express vans (Playa Express, Yellow Transfers) charge $20USD - 35USD per person, they leaves each time the van is full and leave you at the door of the hotel. This is the easiest way to travel, only that it might take a little longer if the other passengers are in different hotels as they leave everyone at their door!
- We can organize a private transportation with a driver waiting for you outside the terminal, the current price is $1,050 pesos (subject to changes) for up to 4 passengers and they bring you directly to the hotel. I just need your flight details a few days before your arrival to confirm the service and send you the instructions on how to find the driver, payment will be due in cash to front desk when you arrive.
I stay at your disposal by email for any further information and hope to receive you soon!
Kind Regards, Diane

Buenos días Sarena, thank you very much for your message and your interest!
We make our very best to keep the hotel quiet at all times and especially at night, not allowing music outside or asking our guests who would stay in the garden after 10pm to keep their voices down as much as possible!
However we are still a downtown hotel and sometimes there is a little noise from the traffic of the street...
I hope to receive you soon and stay at your disposal for any further questions!
Have a nice day and a great week-end!
Kind Regards, Diane
